The appearance of young members of the Ultra Combat Team may be unreasonable for adults, after all, it is contrary to common sense to have children in an international armed organization.

But from a child's point of view, seeing his peers become members of the team and defend the earth with Ultraman, the sense of substitution is much stronger.

Moreover, reasonable......

Was the tokusatsu ever plausible?

Ultraman and the monster have all appeared, and who cares about a child joining an international armed group.

The idea is good, but there is a problem.

Young actors are prone to injury, especially when filming works like Ultraman, accidental injuries often occur.

Once this kind of accident occurs, not to mention the inside of the crew, the news can immediately trigger a frenzy of public opinion.

Whether it's the crew's pot or not, in short, you are at fault, and you shouldn't let the young actors get hurt! After all, everyone likes to sympathize with the weak, especially children.

Even if the little actor just scratches a layer of skin on his hands, when the news comes out, I'm afraid that a bunch of people will scold him.

This is the reason why Meng Lang chose Wang Dahu.

Even if other young actors have low salaries, because of their identity and background, if they are injured or something while filming, they will have to cause a big disaster.

Wang Dahu is different.

Meng Lang was kind to him and mastered his handle. As long as he dares to make trouble and expose him backhandedly, he won't be able to make any waves.

As for acting, it doesn't matter, what other acting do you want for a child of this age?

Do you really think Mr. Meng's money is easy to take?

In this way, Wang Dahu gloriously became the actor of the trainee of the Cotter team, Isamu Hoshino.

In the original generation, the relationship between Isamu Hoshino and Akiko Fuji was not that of brother and sister. But in the hands of Meng Lang, Isamu Hoshino became Fuji Akiko's half-brother.

This is the character setting, followed by the identity of Isamu Hoshino.

In the original play, Isamu Hoshino had no official identity at first, and only relied on his relationship with Akiko Fuji to be able to enter and leave the Cotter base. Later, because of his outstanding contributions, he was promoted to a trainee by the captain.

Meng Lang felt that this was not good.

Hoshino is an important supporting role after all, and it feels awkward to appear without an identity and still follow the Cotter team members.

So, in his version of Ultraman, Isamu Hoshino was able to join Team Cotter as a trainee as a "prodigy", and after many major battles, he became an official member of Team Cotter!

After the plot was changed, Meng Lang took advantage of the Saturday holiday to summon Wang Dahu into the crew and try to shoot a scene.

"It feels okay!"

Although there were minor problems such as overly exaggerated expressions and inability to remember lines because of nervousness, at least he was smart and didn't make the same mistake again after teaching him once.

Meng Lang nodded: "That's it, focus on filming his scenes on Saturdays and Sundays, and don't delay him from going to school." ”

The addition of Xiaohu has no impact on the entire shooting plan.

After all, it is a supporting role, and the sense of presence is not high.

On the contrary, it was the appearance of the Baltan Star that became the first major event of the crew.

The Baltans have a lot of abilities!

Teleport, Invisibility, Clone, Immobilization, Possession, Regeneration......

As the first cosmic man to appear in the Ultraman series, Crayfish's performance is definitely a classic monster!

How classic is it?

The popularity even surpasses some unpopular Ultraman, and many viewers don't need to look at the holster, as long as they hear the cry of "ho ho", they know that it is a crayfish appearance.

Tsuburaya has created more than 20 monster images for it, and there are more than a dozen leather cases.

There are countless guest appearances in Ultra's works, and he is simply the "king of strings" in the monster world!

But that's not the point, the point is that the plot of the Baltan people appearing is too ironic.

The crayfish got its name from a certain powder keg region, and the crayfish's home planet was destroyed by a box egg. Linked to the production time and background of the original generation, Tsuburaya's metaphor can be said to be obvious.

The Baltan people came to Blue Star due to a ship's malfunction, and after finding that it was suitable for habitation, they had bad intentions that they shouldn't have.

But after the Cotter team counterattacked, they offered to negotiate.

"If you can abide by the customs and laws of the Blue Star, this matter is not impossible. ”

At first glance, Hayata's answer sounded fine, and if the Baltans were willing to coexist peacefully, there was no need for the Kot team to destroy them.

But here's the problem, the number of Baltans is as high as 2.03 billion!

With such a large number of races, it is impossible for humans to let them settle on Earth. Hayata offered to let the Baltans live on Mars, but the Baltans hated Mars and rejected the offer.

Negotiations are shattered, and the crayfish gigantic fights Ultraman.

Later, there was a tragedy of crayfish extermination.

The ruthlessness of the first generation was vividly displayed when dealing with the Baltans.

Tsuburaya adds too many metaphors and spicy ironies in this episode. This is a classic scene, but whether to keep this classic, Meng Lang is very hesitant.

To be honest, it's easy to make changes, just delete the negotiation scene.

There is no negotiation plot, and no one knows that the spaceship destroyed by Ultraman actually lives on the billions of aliens.

"To delete or not to delete?"

Wang Kui, as a producer, gave a suggestion after learning of Meng Lang's distress: "Why don't you cut it into two versions? The version shown on TV has no negotiation plot and serves children." Another director's cut was added to the negotiation plot and released as a collector's DVD. ”

Meng Lang was shocked!

This thick-eyed and big-eyed Wang Kui always thought he was a good man, but he didn't expect his heart to be so black!

But it makes a lot of sense.

Most of the plots of Showa Aoku are heavy, and at the same time, Tsuburaya also likes to engage in ironic metaphors, and the actual viewing experience is not as comfortable as the new generation of LED Aolai.

After cutting into two versions, this problem was solved.

There is in-depth content, put it in a DVD tape and buy it home and study it slowly, while the TV version is mainly to please children and promote derivatives, and it is easier to achieve high ratings by making some deletions in the content.

"Great idea!"

Meng Lang clapped his hands and said, "Then let's do it like this!" The content of the DVD version is different from the TV version, and it can also promote the sales of DVD discs. Director Wang, you have enlightened, you can think of this kind of good way. ”

Wang Kui: "......"

Now that a solution has been found, it is much easier to shoot.

Moreover, Wang Kui's proposal also gave Meng Lang new ideas.

The DVD version has an "Easter egg design"!

This news will make viewers who have watched the TV version interested in the DVD version. And once you are interested, it is not difficult to buy a DVD.

It can be expected that if Easter eggs are really added to the DVD version, after the TV drama becomes popular, the sales of DVDs will definitely not be low!

What if DVDs are not only sold, but also need to buy a derivative package?

Or do you think differently and don't make a big gift package to make a DVD set?

No matter how you look at it, you can't lose anything!
